government could do and the government to government. it's how you build the nonproliferation norms in the society themselves. >> i'm going to ask a direct question because the non-proliferation i get that, it makes sense. we always on the government work better and be better coordinated but here's a direct question if anybody else knows the answer please, speegap. how much does the government spend annually? fighting, nonproliferation in the middle east, let's back up again. this is the sum of all fears, this is the middle east. it went through five or six examples when the post war period we've already seen the government in the attacks and thousands of people killed i don't think anybody in this room needs a lesson on the kind of regime and the kind of terrorist organizations that are in the middle east and that come out of the swamp that is the middle east and so i would assume as a layperson that we must be spending billions in fighting the middle east nonproliferation. actually i do not know because as i explained, they are so desp

government was trying to do. there was a huge uproar and if you listen very carefully, there was a sense that the government did not know exactly what it wanted to do. it was confused and without a sense of direction that maybe you wall had a clear sense of direction. >> we had a clear sense and you told -- we told you but you just didn't believe us. at geneva i sat down with a group of bankers and you were not one of them, and one of them asked, you know, we didn't know this was coming. i said, the president made his speech january 16, 1984. this was more than a year and a half before and most of your people said he was playing politics. he set forth in that speech what he wanted to do and i think we were very open. it was simply that the press was extraordinarily, i would say skeptical that the president knew what he was doing. now, there's another side to public diplomacy, and how about the soviet union? ros has mentioned the important agreement at geneva that a nuclear war cannot be won and must not be fought

the treaty does not give the federal government or any state government any new powers with respect to children with disabilities. it doesn't change the balance of power between federal and state government. it doesn't require any change to existing state or federal law. the justice department, former republican attorney general dick thornburgh testified before the foreign relations committee that any assertion to the contrary is incorrect and our committee even included language in the resolution of advice and consent to absolutely crystallize those limitations. and finally there are those who argue that a lame-duck session is the inappropriate time for senators to consider this treaty. my colleagues, please. since the 1970's alone the united states senate has approved treaties during lame-duck sessions a total of 19 times. there's nothing special or different about a lame duck. it's a session of the united states congress. and just as we are going to consider important fiscal matters, we should consider other important matters. our constituents expect us to do our jobs, and there's n
